Kristopher L. Downing, MD, La Jolla CA

They offered me the best method to treat my problem and it was undoubtedly what I needed. Excellent staff, receptionist and assistant attentive and very friendly. Thanks for everything!

I was pleased with the demeanor of Dr. Kris Downing. He was thorough and answered my questions. Unfortunately there is not much that can be done for my advanced arthritis so my options are limited. His staff was courteous and helpful. A good doctor in my opinion.

Anyone with an upper extremity injury? You are in the right place with Orto1 and Kristopher Downing He successfully repaired my elbow completely.

I was referred to Dr. Downing by another surgeon. Dr Downing asked me some questions then looked at my finger (my previously injured body part). I had come to him to discover my treatment options. Dr Downing is a good communicator, and took time to answer my questions despite the office being busy. I will look to his practice for future orthopedic needs.

When I was there the staff and the doctor were very professional and extremely polite and problem solvers. I very much appreciate them for taking such good care of me.

Great experience. I had many visits with other providers telling me to do the same things I'd been doing for several years. I am an NP and I know what the problem was. He listened and was not dismissive as many MDs can be. He got right to the issue a quick US to the tendon and injected. I really appreciate his care, courtesy and lovely staff!

I am extremely pleased with Dr. Downing and very happy to know that my surgery was "non-memorable"!

Smart doctor. Zeroed in on the problem quickly and explained diagnosis and possible treatment plans clearly.

I definitely did not thank Dr. Downing, and all the great people at Ortho 1, enough! I’m really grateful for the kind attention and stellar care when I was so vulnerable. Three months post surgery I am almost pain-free. I am ecstatic to have my left hand fully-functional and getting stronger each day. I remain in awe of the power and intricacies of the human body…With the meticulous genius Dr. Downing in control of the surgical repair, my results are beyond the beyonds.

From when I called this practice,
I receive nothing but the best of service, from the office staff to the doctor and assistant, everybody made me feel that my problems were going to become little, if I had a medical business, this is how I would like it to be, very kind, understanding caring
Professionalism at its best stars️️️️️

The nurses are very friendly as Well as helpful and do everything to make the patient feel comfortable. I experienced Noea and the nurse at in take They remembered me Ialsohad Mike in OR. HE WAS great

I'm very happy, but yesterday I had a phone app at 1145 was waiting but had to hang up because I Was at my aunt viewing/service.
So I'll need another appointment please.

Dr. Downing is always willing to listen to everything you say. He offers his knowledge and solutions to your issues.
I feel he genuinely cares about helping his patients.

Dr. Downing is extremely knowledgeable and worked with me on further testing and me possible treatment options.

Very professional staff and Dr. Downing is an excellent Orthopedic Surgeon. My injured right mallet finger is healing up exactly like he said after a tendon tear at the end joint. I am now able to remove the splint during day & back on at night for 4-6 weeks during the final healing process and can move the finger very well already.
If anyone is in need of orthopedic surgery, I highly recommended Dr. Downing.
